Note: I will write my review in Taglish (combination of Tagalog and English languages).
First, I would like to commend the featured casts. Whether they play major or minor characters, they gave justice to their roles. I admire the two main casts. They have the chemistry, with a blend of happiness and melancholy along the story. It somehow shows a realistic image of coming-out narratives where the closeted gay friend confessed love to his best friend.
Though, I agreed with one commentator who noticed the unrealistic tendency of the genre highlighting the stereotypes among the homosexual male. Honestly, I criticize the genre as too heavily cliche and corny. I know that the story in itself is fiction, but to write a male-to-male romance, it has to be realistic with or without the involvement of explicit scenes. I am well acquainted with the definition of B.L. genre as I have done my research on it. Again, I learnt that commonly who writes BL-oriented are women for female fans. To the women authors, please make sure you have read scholarly books or published research about Gender and Sexuality or the LGBTQIA+ community. As writers, your duty is not exclusively within the realm of writing, but you need to broaden your knowledge on the matter. This is to avoid prejudice.
Second, the acting is superb. Gun has been in the showbiz industry since he was young. I was blown away when I learnt that on Google. After all, it is no surprising he is a great actor of his generation. I love his acting as well in other series such as The Gifted.
Third, trust me when I say it is a must-see drama. You can try, but I tell you can never go back, for it makes you want to watch or even finish the whole series in just one week straight! Highly recommended.
Fourth, sa mga Pilipino diyan na baguhan sa genre, ito na ang unahin niyong panuorin. Pramis, walang halong pagsisisi ang mararamdaman. Pasasalamatan mo pa ang series dahil maraming lessons that you can learn and apply to in (love) life.
